I have some pimple scars on my forehead that I really want to get rid of. What is the best product that I can get from a store (like Walgreens/Walmart/etc) that can speed up the process?|||First, let%26#039;s be clear. Exposing unprotected skin to direct sunlight will NOT cure acne. When you expose your skin to the sun, you MUST use a sunblocking product. The problem with many sunscreen products is that they have ingredients in them that actually irritate acne. There is, however, some good news.
Today there are a variety of good, non-irritating, and non-comedogenic sunscreens on the market. These sunscreens are great moisturizers and excellent sunblockers. They help to prevent aging (think wrinkles) as well as help to protect the skin from drying. Drying can exacerbate oil production and make acne scars look worse and become more permanent.
Twice (at least) daily skin cleansing is essential to help prevent as well as treat acne. Hard scrubbing does not equal good skin cleansing. You need to remember that scrubbing your skin hard can actually CAUSE acne. The hard scrubbing that stimulates the sebaceous glands causes greater production of sebum and sebum is the big acne villain.
Gentle but thorough facial cleaning with a mild soap and using only your hands (no wash rag) at least twice every single day can help to prevent acne as well as help to heal acne. Don%26#039;t RUB your face either with a washcloth or with a towel. Gently wash your face and then pat it dry. Wait about a half hour and then apply moisturizers and/or acne medications.
There is nothing that you can eat that will cause a zit to form 鈥?not greasy foods like French fries, not carbonated drinks, not even chocolate. There is no food that causes acne. Now, the LACK of certain nutrients can certainly contribute to the acne problem. There%26#039;s no proof (for far) that the lack of nutrients actually causes acne, but there is proof that adding nutrients can help to clear acne. Eat fresh fruit, fresh vegetables, whole grain foods and take a daily multivitamin/mineral supplement.|||Pro Active , it works. It does work i didnt believe it at first but it actually worked.|||dont use proactive. it%26#039;a bad. try tea tree oil. but im not sure.
